Roomba® i, e, j and 10 Max series

Roomba® s9 Bin

Roomba has a sensor to determine when the bin is full. Depending on how quickly the bin fills up, you may prefer to modify your robot’s cleaning behaviour.

The two behaviour settings are:

• Do not clean when full
  Your robot will not start any new cleaning jobs and will pause existing ones if it detects that its bin is full.

• Keep cleaning when full
  Your robot will start and complete cleaning jobs even when it detects that its bin is full.

To change this setting, select Robot Settings > Cleaning Preferences > Bin Full Behaviour

Note: If the Full Bin Indicator is illuminated or blinking, it means that the bin is full. Roomba cannot continue cleaning until the bin is emptied. 

If the indicator light comes on during a cleaning job, the cleaning job can be paused in order to empty the bin before resuming the cleaning job.

Roomba may indicate that the bin is full in any of several ways:

• The Full Bin Indicator will appear under the CLEAN button, in the iRobot Home App.

• Roomba e series: the Full Bin Indicator will be illuminated on the robot.

• Roomba i, s and j series: the Light Ring around the CLEAN button on the robot will be illuminated and will sweep back, towards the rear of the CLEAN button, then flash red.

Light Ring around the bin lid, red sweep towards the rear:  Empty the bin. 

Please empty the bin and clean the full bin sensors and sensor ports thoroughly. If Roomba® continues to indicate that the bin is full after you have emptied the bin, it means that you have not thoroughly cleaned the full bin sensors and/or the sensor ports.
